#BlackGirlMagic: Dear Dark Skinned Lady

#BlackGirlMagic



Colorism is real and I'm tired of it since I can't change much, I'm starting a series called " Struggles of a Dark Skinned Female.

Dear Dark Skinned female,

You are beautiful and  I have compiled a list of things that you can relate to.


 : Ebony! Black and shine! Black Beauty:

First I hate the term black beauty - is that still a compliment? I stay in Nigeria, we are all black, not sure what 'black' beauty means.


: You are pretty for a dark skinned girl


This means - all odds are against you, yet you are somewhat attractive. Black isn't ugly! Don't tell me I'm pretty for a dark skinned girl like dark = ugly.

: Maybe you shouldn't wear black:

Just me wearing whatever the f*ck I want.
Err - the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice !! Don't stress me, I'll wear black and any other dull or bright color I like. This takes me back to my birthday dinner, where my own sister saw my photo and said I'm too dark to wear yellow?! I think the fuck not!

: You Look Like.....

 I can bet it'll be Lupita or Alek Wek or someone you look nothing like.

: I am Getting darker 

Okay, should we celebrate or you are going to keep talking about my skin tone like it's bad.

Chose these photos cus my skin is popping - thanks.

Love you do you!

I Come To You As A Woman

If I got a dollar for everytime someone has come to me as a woman, I'll have 3 dollars. For those of you who don't know what that means I'll explain. So," Coming to you as a woman " is a term used when "another woman" who is either having an affair with your man OR  you are having an affair with her man, calls you out. The process usually starts with snooping around and finding out who you are and reaching out to you. Here are some reasons why some ladies might come to you as a woman: They are getting cheated on with you - that gotta hurt. They are currently "dining" with your partner and can't let you be happy in peace. You both have the same "d*ck appointment". And this is how it usually starts - Hi *inserts name here*, I want to talk to you about Ted. I come to you as a woman who just found out she got played by a man she loves ......BLAH BLAH BLAH.  Your first reply should be to block her and stay awa...

 If you missed my memoirs last week check here .    And please don’t start a lecture of don’t visit boys when you don’t want to do anything with them. At some point I almost lost my virginity, not exactly willingly. First I must Thank God for that day and second I must tell you the story. Me I was okay with visiting boys; at home and even in their hostels. Well it took one day and I lost every bit of trust in going to a guy’s house. I’ll be very dramatic and detailed, one faithful day I paid a friend a visit a "supposed crush"; we’ll call him “Douche” for the sake of this story. Somehow we were kissing then he asked 'Are you a Virgin'.  My countenance changed immediately, so he wants sex, first time here oh! And I hate answering such question but I had to, so I said yes... Mr. Douche looked at his wristwatch and said by this time of the year, you must be joking in his words “pick one remove your top or your jeans with no argument” I pulled my ...
